A Black Tea Sampler

A Black Tea Sampler

A Single-Origin Black Tea Collection

Four teas, four completely different cups. There's a black tea here for every mood: the strong one for mornings that need it, the bright one for the afternoon, the deep one for drinking slowly and the rare one for curiosity's sake. Four single-origin teas, chosen so that no two are alike and so that somewhere in this box is the tea that becomes your tea. All four are pure, single-origin black teas, nothing blended, nothing added.

Assam TGFOP — The powerhouse. From the lush lowlands of northeastern India, Assam is black tea at its boldest: rich, malty, and full-bodied, with golden tips scattered through the dark leaf. This is the tea that built the breakfast tradition, and the cup that stands up beautifully to milk.

Nilgiri Black (Splendid Afternoon) — The bright one. Grown high in the Blue Mountains of southern India, Nilgiri trades Assam's weight for elevation: a brisk, aromatic, splendidly clean cup with a fragrant lift. Proof that two teas from the same country can sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Keemun Premium — The connoisseur's choice. From Anhui Province, China, Keemun is among the most celebrated black teas on earth — wiry jet-black leaves brewing into a cup of remarkable depth: gently smoky, subtly fruity, with a sweetness that unfolds slowly. A tea for drinking slowly and without milk.

Wakocha — The rare find. Japan makes very little black tea and Wakocha shows what its green-tea craftsmanship does with full oxidation: a smooth, delicate cup, honeyed and soft, with none of the briskness of its Indian cousins. The fourth place in this collection is a featured-origin slot — currently held by this Japanese rarity and rotating as remarkable new origins arrive.

Brewed side by side, the four tell the whole story: strength, brightness, depth and delicacy. A tour for anyone discovering loose-leaf black tea, and a map for choosing the next tin.
